Definitions
- the present invention is generally related to identification and monetization of content.
- the present invention is directed to a media syndication engine that identifies and monetizes digital content that matches copyrighted content.
- a single work may have multiple rights holders and various entities may hold other rights with regard to the content.
- the author, the publisher, and the music label are just some of the many different entities that may have different rights in different countries.
- Videos have an additional layer of complexity, including, for example, rights associated with any music played along with the video.
- ASCAP Composers, Authors and Publishers
- the rights holder must be given the ability to control how their content is monetized, for example, through advertising.
- the media host must also be given the ability to identify right's holders associated with content on their site and entire into agreements with the content owners which allow the media host to provide copyrighted content to viewers.
- the present invention enables rights holders of digital content, herein referred to as “content owners,” to provide digital content to a media syndication server, herein referred to as the "VID server.”
- Digital content provided by content rights holders to the VID server is herein referred to as "reference content.”
- the VID server is adapted to receive reference content provided by content owners in a number of different formats.
- the VID server is further adapted to receive metadata associated with the reference content.
- the content owner also specifies policies for the reference content using interfaces provided by the VID server.
- a media host is an entity who provides media content to viewers.
- the media host provides media content provided by other entities such as user generated content (UGC).
- the policies specify which media hosts (e.g. a set of websites run by media hosts) may host and/or provide items of digital content to users which match the reference content to viewers.
- the policies specify how the reference content may be used on sites when a match is found between digital content hosted by a media host and the reference content.
- the policies may further specify financial information such as information for advertisement revenue sharing between the media host and the content owners.
- the media hosts also provide items of digital content to the VID server.
- Digital content provided by the media hosts to the VID server is herein referred to as "hosted content.”
- the VID server is adapted to receive hosted content in a number of different formats.
- the VID server is further adapted to receive metadata associated with the hosted content.
- the media hosts may also provide information indicating their default preferences for policy agreements.
- Reference content received from the content owners and hosted content received from the media hosts is transcoded into a common file type once it has been uploaded.
- a fingerprinting module generates fingerprints for both the reference content and hosted content. Fingerprints for the items of hosted content and the items of reference content can then be compared to determine whether a match exists between an item of hosted content and an item of reference content.
- the term match can refer to a full match between the fingerprints for the items or a partial match between any sub-portion of the fingerprints.
- Match metrics are generated based on the match, where the match metrics quantify different aspects or degrees of the match.
- the match metrics include a duration metric which specifies a quantity of space and/or time over which the item of hosted content matches the item of reference content.
- the match metrics further include a proportion metric which specifies a value indicating the duration of the match relative to the total quantity of space and/or time of the item of hosted content.
- the match metrics further include a confidence metric which specifies a likelihood of the match between the item of reference content and item of hosted content.
- the match metrics further include an offset metric which specifies a time period corresponding to an offset between the reference content and the hosted content. According to the media type of the media content, different fingerprints may be generated for different channels associated with the content (e.g. audio channels, video channels or both) and used to generated match metrics specific to the channel.
- the specified policies for the reference content are retrieved by the VID server.
- the policy for the item of reference content is provided to the media host associated with the hosted content.
- the policy provided may require the media host's agreement to: provide activity information about the hosted content, prevent the hosted content from being distributed, provide the hosted content to viewers under restrictions specified by the policy and/or share revenue generated from providing the hosted content to content viewers.
- Advertisers may bid to display advertisements in association with the reference content. Using interfaces provided by the VID server, advertisers can also view match metrics indicating the number of media hosts providing hosted content matching reference content.
- Advertisers can further view activity information concerning the reference content including the frequency at which hosted content matching the reference content is viewed by content viewers, for example, at a website associated with a media host. Based on this information, advertisers may bid on the an advertisement (i.e. agree to provide funds in exchange for displaying advertisements in association with hosted content matching reference content). Advertisers may then submit advertising information such as digital content which contains advertisements, herein referred to as "ad content," to the VID server. [0014] Content owners can access the VID server via the communications network and view activity information and advertising information concerning their reference content. Content owners can also edit policy information for different media hosting websites.
- different policies may be associated with a single media hosting website and a single item of reference content, depending on the geographic location of the computer downloading that content from the media hosting website.
- different policies can be associated with a single media hosting website and a single item of content, depending on the identity of the content viewer or the viewing or uploading platform.

- the fingerprinting engine 116 uses algorithms that identify portions of alphanumeric strings that in order to identify matches between the reference content fingerprint(s) and the hosted content fingerprint(s). Suitable algorithms for identifying matches between data represented in the alphanumeric strings include: string alignment algorithms, string matching algorithms, Hamming distance algorithms, Manhattan distance algorithms or Euclidean distance algorithms. Other algorithms for identifying a match between data represented in the alphanumeric strings may include probabilistic algorithms which indicate the likelihood that two alphanumeric strings are similar.
- the fingerprinting engine 116 Based on the identified match between portions of the reference fingerprint(s) and the hosted content fingerprint(s), the fingerprinting engine 116 generates 208 four different match metrics: a duration metric, a proportion metric, an offset metric and a confidence metric.
- the confidence value corresponds to a value which quantifies the identified match or likelihood of the identified match.
- the duration metric is a value that indicates a quantity of space and/or time over which the item of reference content matches the hosted content.
- the fingerprinting engine 116 generates the duration metric by determining the portion of time and/or space which corresponds to the portions of the reference content fingerprints and hosted content fingerprints with identified similarity.
- the proportion metric is a value that indicates the quantity of space or time over which the item of reference content matches the hosted content relative to the temporal and/or spatial size of the item of reference content or the item of hosted content.
- the fingerprinting engine 116 generates the proportion metrics by determining a ratio of the value indicated by the duration metric over a value indicating the length and/or size of the item of reference content or the item of hosted content.
- the offset metric indicates a portion of time by which the item of hosted content differs from the item of reference content.
- the fingerprinting engine 116 generates the offset metric by determining the temporal portion of time and/or space which corresponds to the portions of the reference content fingerprints and hosted content fingerprints that do not match.
- the offset metric may represent the portion of time at the beginning of the hosted content that does not match the reference content.
- the policy engine 118 identifies 210 a policy specified for the reference content associated with the match metrics. In alternate embodiments, there may be a policy specified for an item of reference content may not be identified (i.e. the content owner 101 is not required to specify a policy when uploading the item of reference content).
- the fingerprinting engine 116 determines whether there is a match 212 between an item of reference content and an item of hosted content based on one or more of the match metrics for a match exceeding a defined threshold value for the match metric. In one embodiment, the defined threshold values for the match metrics may be defined by the content owner 101 in the policy for the item of reference content.
- a content owner 101 may specify a duration threshold value of 1 minute is required for a match between items of hosted content and items of reference content owned by the content owner 101.
- a content owner may specify a confidence threshold value of 80% is required for a match between items of reference content and items of hosted content.
- Standard threshold values for each of the match metrics can be defined by an administrator of the VID server 100, and used where the content owner has not defined their own values.
- the match metrics are stored in the content match database 128. [0059] If the fingerprinting engine 116 determines that the item of reference content and the item of hosted content do not match, the fingerprinting engine 116 continues to generate 208 match metrics for other items of reference content and items of hosted content.
- the policy engine 118 determines 214 whether the media host 102 hosting the item of hosted content is prohibited from providing items of hosted content matching the item of reference content based on the policy specified for the item of hosted content matching the item of reference content. In embodiments where there is no policy is specified for an item of reference content, the policy engine 118 transmits 213 contact information for the content owner 101 associated with the item of reference content to the media host 102 hosting the item of hosted content along with information regarding the match. [0060] If the media host 102 is prohibited from hosting content matching the reference content, the VID server 100 transmits 222 instructions to media host 102 to remove or destroy the hosted content matching the reference content.
- the policy engine 118 determines 216 whether default policy agreements specified by the media host 102 correspond to the terms of the policy. For example, the policy engine 118 may determine that the default policy agreements include an agreement to provide activity information which matches a policy specified by the content owner 101 requiring provision of activity information.
- the media host 102 If the default policy agreements specified by the media host 102 correspond to the terms of the policy, then the media host 102 provides 224 activity information regarding the item of reference content to the VID server 100. If the default policy agreements specified by the media host 102 do not correspond to the terms of the policy or the media host has not specified default policy agreements, then the VID server 100 transmits 218 the policy to the media host 102 via the media host interface 106. The VID server 100 receives instructions from the media host 102 which indicate whether 220 the media host 102 accepts or declines the terms stated in the policy.
- Figure 3 illustrates an example of a user interface 300 provided by the content owner interface 126 that enables a content owner 101 to upload reference content to the reference content database 130.

- policy specification for items of reference content that have been submitted by multiple content owners 101 resulting in conflicting claims may be handled in different ways.
- the policy engine 118 places conflicting claims associated with items of reference content into a conflict queue.
- the conflicting claims are processed by the content owners 101 to determine which content owner 101 has rights to the item of reference content.
- the content owner 101 who has rights to the item of reference content will specify policies associated with the item of reference content.
- the content owner 101 with the majority of rights for the item of reference content will specify policies associated with the item of reference content.
- the multiple content owners 101 may jointly specify policies associated with the item of reference content.

- the reports section 510 further displays the average estimated "cost per mille"(eCPM) 514 associated with the ad content displayed in association with the reference content, the ePCM specifies the average amount of funds required for one thousand impressions associated with an item of ad content (i.e. displaying an advertisement in association with the reference content one thousand times).
- the reports section further displays the average funds 515 earned by displaying ad content in association with the items of reference content.
- one or more controls may be displayed which allow advertisers to bid to display advertising content in association with the items of reference content.
- the controls may allow the advertiser to specify an amount of funds they are willing to provide to display an advertisement in associated with hosted content associated with the reference content.
- the advertiser may select to display an advertisement in associated with all items of hosted content matching an item of reference content or a specific item of hosted content matching an item of reference content. For instance, an advertiser may select to display an advertisement only with a specific video which uses a song as background music instead of all videos which use the song as background music.
